Agenda  PeeringDB Introduction  Organization Update  PDB 1.0 vs. PDB 2.0  Automation Examples

PeeringDB Overview  PeeringDB is the de facto reference database for peering information on the Internet  Contains location information and contacts for ◦ Networks ◦ Exchange points ◦ Facilities  A PeeringDB entry for your network makes it easy for people to find you, and helps you establish peering  Required for peering with certain networks, for example ◦ Apple ◦ Facebook ◦ Microsoft

Statistics Networks 8,293 Exchange Points 617 Facilities 1,863 Exchange Point Presences 25,508 Facility Presences 14,444  Several new registrations from Brazil each week!

Network Example

Exchange Point Example

Access to PeeringDB  PDB 1.0 is available at www.peeringdb.com ◦ Current production version  PDB 2.0 is in beta at beta.peeringdb.com ◦ New version with many new features

Registration  If you aren’t registered in PeeringDB, you can register at www.peeringdb.com/registration/register.php  We use basic verification for new accounts and require current whois information ◦ Please update your whois information ◦ Please register from a company email address  Many new registrations from Brazil have mismatched information ◦ Email address != company email address ◦ Email address != whois email address ◦ Company name != whois company name

Mailing Lists and Contacts  PeeringDB Announce: lists.peeringdb.com/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-announce  PeeringDB Governance: lists.peeringdb.com/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov  PeeringDB Technical: lists.peeringdb.com/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-tech  PeeringDB User Discuss: lists.peeringdb.com/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/user-discuss  Support questions: support@peeringdb.com  Administrative questions: admin@peeringdb.com  Sponsorship info: sponsorship@peeringdb.com

Agenda  PeeringDB Introduction  Organization Update  PDB 1.0 vs. PDB 2.0  Automation Examples

Organization  Until now, PeeringDB has been run by an informal group of admins using donated infrastructure  PeeringDB needs funds for ◦ Operations ◦ Software development ◦ Feature requests and enhancements  Many organizations have offered donations to support PeeringDB  Unable to handle finances or contracts

Elections  Voting for the PeeringDB initial Board of Directors just finished on November 30th, 2015  Initial Board of Directors ◦ Patrick W. Gilmore (Markley Group) - Vice President ◦ Matt Griswold (20C) ◦ Aaron Hughes (6connect) - President ◦ Arnold Nipper (DE-CIX) ◦ Job Snijders (NTT)  First board meeting takes place today  Forming United States 501(c)(6) nonprofit corporation  All governance info is available at gov.peeringdb.com

Agenda  PeeringDB Introduction  Organization Update  PDB 1.0 vs. PDB 2.0  Automation Examples

PDB 1.0  Old, auto-generated code, unmaintainable  Schema issues ◦ One network per user, requires multiple registrations ◦ No data validation, lots of typos  MySQL is the only "API" ◦ Insecure, doesn't scale  Exposes contact information to potential spammers

PDB 2.0  New, clean, shiny Python  Completely redesigned schema  RESTful API  All data is cleaned and validated  Contact info has permissions ◦ Guest login won’t see contact details

PDB 2.0  Everything is permissioned and editable ◦ Data centers and IXPs can update their own info ◦ Multiple networks can be associated with one login ◦ Manage users and permissions  Documented APIs at docs.peeringdb.com/api_specs  Many new features planned after release  Beta version is live now at beta.peeringdb.com

Agenda  PeeringDB Introduction  Organization Update  PDB 1.0 vs. PDB 2.0  Automation Examples

API Specs  All operations are supported ◦ Read ◦ Write ◦ Create  Each data type has an associated tag ◦ net ◦ org ◦ ix

API Specs  To list all networks: curl -X GET https://<username>:<password>@beta. peeringdb.com/api/net  To view a specific network: curl -X GET https://<username>:<password>@beta. peeringdb.com/api/net/20

Python Library  Python seems to be the go-to language for network people  Very early in life cycle ◦ Expect more tests and features in the near future  More languages and libraries will show up ◦ PHP will probably be next  Available at github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb-py

Python Library  Advantages ◦ Local (not dependent on servers being up, etc.) ◦ Custom indexes can be built ◦ Custom fields can be added ◦ Database engine can be chosen (MySQL, Postgres, SQLite)  To install: pip install peeringdb

Python Library  T o configure a local database: peeringdb configure  T o keep in sync after configuration: peeringdb sync

Python Library  T o output YAML: peeringdb get net20  T o output JSON: peeringdb get -O json net20

Django PeeringDB  PeeringDB models and local synchronization for Django  Available at github.com/peeringdb/django- peeringdb  Easy to integrate in a common web framework  Multiple database options  Used by peeringdb-py to sync data

United IX Example  Customer signs up  Backend system queries PeeringDB  Auto populates IXP Manager data ◦ NOC info ◦ Max prefix ◦ Very easy to generate peering router configuratoin

Companies Using PDB 2.0  Apple ◦ Couchbase database sync ◦ Not available to the public  Netflix ◦ Redis database sync ◦ Available at github.com/netflix/peeringdb-py
